Kerroum A., Capellan-Baista D.J., Estel L., Vernières-Hassimi L., 2023, Analysis of Risks Associated with Hazardous Materials Transportation in the French Chemical Industry, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 104, 139-144.
This article focuses on the risks associated with Hazardous Materials Transportation (HazMaT) events in the French chemical industry between 1981 and 2022. The study aims to analyze and assess the causes and consequences of past events using the ARIA database, which lists over 54,000 events that have taken place in France and abroad. The severity of events is classified into five categories, from near misses to catastrophic events. The study highlights the importance of risk analysis/assessment and lessons learned from past events in managing natural and technological risks.
